SS Ajax (1904) and SS Ajax (1889)

They're rather good articles, except that they are completely lacking in references. Do you have a source you are using to write them, and if so, can you cite it please? Thanks, C628 (talk) 02:54, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:SS Oslo (1906).jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:SS Oslo (1906).jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:33, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve RMS Amazon (1906)

[edit]

Hi, I'm Musa Raza. Indylover2010, thanks for creating RMS Amazon (1906)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The page doesn't belong to any category.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Musa Talk  17:42, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited SS Chancellor (1895), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Newcastle.

Problems with upload of File:Hoop (1600).jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Hoop (1600).jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Ship articles

[edit]

Hi, I've noticed you've been creating a few ship articles using the Archaeosousmarine website as a source. You'll need to watch out for flags and countries, as in many cases they are not the same as they are today. I've been working on a guide at User:Mjroots/Flags which may be of some use (Europe and South America are fairly complete, others not started). Also, try to find other sources about the ships. Once you know the builder / owner / tonnage etc it greatly aids searching. You may be interested in joining the ships' Wikiproject - we have a page giving useful ship resources at WP:SHIPS/R. Any questions, feel free to ask. Mjroots (talk) 19:03, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Corinth Canal

[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Battle of Corinth Canal, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/aam/ah20070824c.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

[edit]

Thank you for your recent articles, including Fuso Maru, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 23:56, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of the Corinth Canal

[edit]

Please do not remove the Copyright Investigations tag from this article. I have restored it, as changing a word here and there does not address the issue. If you wish to re-write the article (a complete re-write, not just changing a few words, you have to change the presentation), you may do so Here but do not remove the tag again. Continuing to do so can be considered "repeatedly restoring copyrighted material", which can lead to a block. CrowCaw 23:07, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article deletion tagging & discussions

[edit]

Hello, Indylover2010,

Even though you are an experienced editor, you seem new to the subject of article deletion on Wikipedia so I thought I'd pass along a few tips. First, anyone can remove a Proposed Deletion (PROD) tag, for any reason at all, even the article creator. PRODs are for uncontroversial deletions so since you had objections to the deletion of an article you wrote that was being PROD'd, I removed the PROD tag from the page. Frequently, editors who PROD articles that are de-PROD'd, will then take them to Articles for Deletion (AFD) but not always. It's considered good practice when you remove a PROD tag to use the edit summary to address the concerns of the editor who tagged it or, in general, work on improving the article to respond to their criticism and what might be missing from the article.

Speedy deletion (CSD) tags, on the other hand, can be removed by other editors but not by the page creator. The CSD criteria for deletion are very limited and are supposed to be for obvious problems like copyright violations and advertising. I delete a fair number of pages that have been tagged for speedy deletion and they are primarily newly created articles by inexperienced editors. Many of them are promotional in nature, either self-promotion or promoting a company or brand.

Regarding AFD tags, those can not be removed by any editor, including the page creator, until the AFD discussion is closed. The closer will remove the tag from an article that is not deleted. In a recent discussion, you responded to the AFD deletion rationale but along with that necessary component, you should also "Vote" which you can do but writing '''Keep''' for Keep or '''Delete''' for Delete. There are other common options that can be offered like Merge, Redirect or Draftify. Article creators are welcome to participate in AFDs for articles they create and to cast a "vote" as well. Although AFDs are not a matter of counting votes, reviewing them can be a quick way for editors looking at a discussion to see whether or not the deletion nomination has any support.

I hope this information helps you as you see your articles tagged for one of Wikipedia's forms of deletion. I urge you not to take such taggings personally (even though that can be a challenge), editors tagging articles (or tagging redirects, templates or categories) are well-intentioned and trying to remove content they believe doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards, typically of notability. But since I've been working in the AFD area this year, I've also seen a fair number of articles survive an AFD discussion and actually become better articles as other editors work to address any deficiencies in them. I've even seen articles be completely rewritten from weak articles into acceptable ones during the course of an AFD. So, unless an article is just truly garbage (which yours are not), the week of an AFD discussion is a rather fluid process that can be unpredictable depending on who chooses to participate in the discussion and how well they evaluate content and sources. As a content creator, it can be helpful to listen dispassionately to what editors are saying and trying to take any criticism in a constructive way that can help you become a better writer, at least by Wikipedia standards. Good luck! Liz Read! Talk! 23:23, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Goodday, Liz,
Thank you very much for your explanation on the subject of article deletion. I must admit that I'm not used to such discussions and processes yet, so it was indeed a little complicated to fully understand the steps and instructions that tend to come along with it. I mainly wanted to save the articles because I believed that deletion was a bit extreme, so I wished to know how to fix or improve the article so it would become acceptable for Wikipedia's standards. My main goal is to add articles to red links for subjects that I believe would warrant an article. So although it saddens me if they are marked for deletion with the remarks that it doesn't comply to notability standards, I'll of course try to save the article. But if in the end it would get deleted, I wouldn't take it personally, I would be sad yes, but I wouldn't see it as a personal attack. I only wish for Wikipedia to flourish, with as many good written articles as possible. I just hope that mine are able to take their place within those good ones. Still, thank you a thousand times for taking the time to write such a good and thorough explanation for me, so I can better understand the deletion process. Have a great day!

Stavfjord moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Stavfjord, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 TT me 12:58, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop using this source. Fram (talk) 12:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good day Fram
I just based my sources on those many other election articles use. They have all used Ourcampaigns without issue, and everytime I've checked the results on the site with the results in other avalaible media (when there is one) it checks out. The Ourcampaign pages have also remained unchanged in many years, so I doubt any unreliable information is present on the site. I've read the discussion and the concensus seems to be divided with some seeing no issue with it while others think it's unreliable without any real resons for it. So if many election articles have used this among their sources for years, then why is it now suddenly an issue when wikipedia itself hasn't outright blacklisted it as a source yet. I'd suggest to just blacklist Ourcampaigns as a source if it truly is as flawed as you claim it to be, otherwise I can't see why it can't be used for referincing.
Kind regards, Indylover2010 (talk) 00:56, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
One issue with it is that when there are no known votes (because there is only one candidate, or because the results have not been noted), the site lists it (and you copy it) as there being "one vote cast", which isn't true (see e.g. 1802 Virginia gubernatorial election, which person had the right to cast that one vote to decide who would be governor?). Anyway, you don't have to believe me, there was a 2021 RfC about this, and the site has been declared "generally unreliable" there[1], so please don't add it to any articles.

Autopatrolled granted

[edit]

Hi Indylover2010, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Joe (talk) 07:13, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you very much for creating this article. One question though – the results table is sourced to the Bromley & Kossman and Nohlen & Stöver books. While the vote figures are in Nohlen & Stöver, the Bromley & Kossman book doesn't actually list the 1886 election results (it only has results for 1883 and 1887), or at least doesn't do so on the page listed (page 198) – you can download the entire book through the WikiLibrary if you wish to use it yourself!

Nonpartisan

[edit]

If you add "with party link" to election boxes, as you did here, it creates a link to the disambiguation page Nonpartisan. This is undesirable. If you insist on having links in all these boxes (which, frankly, I think adds no value whatsoever to the reader, but perhaps you disagree), then at least please change the party value to "Nonpartisan politician", so that it will link to a relevant article instead of to a disambiguation page. Thank you in advance. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 12:35, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:RMS Amazon (1906).jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:RMS Amazon (1906).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

California lieutenant gubernatorial elections

[edit]

Howdy! I couldn't help but notice we're making California lieutenant gubernatorial election pages at the same time lol. Thanks for starting from the other end. Can't wait to meet in the middle! PequodOnStationAtLZ (talk) 18:11, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah. I hadn't noticed it yet, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I had just finished creating the lieutenant gubernatorial election pages of Minnesota, and California was next on the list. I always prefer starting from the earliest election to the most recent as it flows more naturally. I would be happy to meet you in the middle as well, and great work on the other pages btw. I'm always happy when other wikipedians bring some more blue to those red links, and I'm glad that you are so engaged in your own state's history. Lovely to meet you, and I hope you 'll meet a bright furture here on Wikipedia. Cheers! Indylover2010 (talk) 10:59, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ohio gubernatorial race

[edit]

There is a lady named Heather Hill that is running for governor in Ohio. She's a Republican and here is information that was on her bio. Will you please add her and her information to the list? Heather (Brazell) Hill stands behind the saying “pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” Heather grew up in Appalachia Ohio and graduated from Morgan high School before pursuing her bachelor’s degree from Ohio University. She married her high school sweetheart, Darrin, in 1993 and they raised their two children (Darrian and Dahlia) on their 100-acre farm in Malta, where they reside to this day. 

Heather started out working at McDonald’s in McConnelsville Ohio and worked there her sophomore, junior, and senior years of high school. Heather became an entrepreneur, and she started a marketing firm in 2001 with her infant son in hand. She went from door-to-door marketing to local businesses and grew ER Graphics into a state-wide agency that was recognized by then Secretary of State Jon Husted and many others. Darrin and Heather Hill launched their real estate business in 2012. They now focus on the housing crisis and providing quality homes in low-income areas of Ohio. Heather understands the importance of small businesses and believes that more tax incentives, grants, and programs should be offered to small business owners. She believes that supporting small businesses is the key to Ohio’s financial stability! 

Heather is a proud army mom, who loves her country. She is a true outsider. She knows what it’s like to fight for what she believes in. Heather will fight for Ohioans and work hard to make Ohio an industrial and economical hub. She will work tirelessly to make Ohio the heart of the United States of America. 

In 1997 the Hills purchased their first farm and later started Ohio hunting lodge. She is an avid hunter and a very strong second amendment supporter! Heather believes that every American should have the right to defend and protect themselves and their family.

Heather understands the importance of the advancement of women and believes that women and girls should be the champions of their own sports. She will fight for women’s rights to reproduce. Over the years Heather Hill had several miscarriages. She and her husband turned to fertility medications to conceive their son, and he is their only live birth. She and her husband then adopted their daughter and were foster parents to many children over the last 20 years. Heather understands the importance of D&C’s and sees the importance of other life-saving surgeries. Heather 100% supports women’s rights to have the option to use IVF. She is a proud pro family supporter.

Heather feels it is time for change in Ohio. She believes her unique skills and life experience is exactly what Ohio needs to pull itself out of the economic crunch and financial devastation that many Ohio families face today. Heather was raised in a middle-class family and understands what it’s like to start from the bottom and work your way up. She believes in building generational wealth and giving every Ohioan the opportunity to build their dreams with their own two hands. 

Heather is a community leader and believes education is our future. She was a school board member and president. Heather understands how to finance projects with a small budget. Her unique perspective and dyslexic thinking will provide Ohio with the budgeting experience that we so strongly need. 

Heather Hill understands that making history as the first woman elected as Governor in the state of Ohio (Ms. Hollister was appointed and only served for 11 days) will be an uphill battle but she believes that Ohio is ready for change and believes in her vision and dedication to making Ohio the best it can be and truly the heart of it all! 71.213.138.201 (talk) 06:08, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She is currently a Ohio commissioner that was appointed by Governor DeWine.

Election article sources

[edit]

Hello, please do not use OurCampaigns as a source – especially not the only source – when creating election articles. This website is WP:UGC and is not reliable. Reliable original sources should be used. Moreover, elections are also subject to notability requirements, and they should not merely be results and non-substantive sources. While your additions are admirable, these results could instead be added to general [Year] elections in [state] articles or List of [position] elections articles that present the results in a more accessible manner. Thank you! Reywas92Talk 16:25, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
